Nicely exposed, and I think the snow on the beak and falling off the legs is great. I do wonder if you could lose a bit off the top of the image, not much seems to be going on up there.

Great view point and a very original take on a common bird, The snow acting like a giant reflector really shows the details in the blacks-The pose really adds to the image-Excellent
